ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤand all of my memories, and all of the things i've seen
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ with my eyes - with my body - with 𝙢𝙚.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ i steal a few breaths from the world for a minute
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤand then i'll be nothing
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤforever.
ㅤ
ㅤ" oh, good gravy... "
ㅤa mutter and a grumble, dropping her attention away as she rolled the cig between her digits. though, icy hues would drift back upon the other's acknowledgment.
ㅤ" huh.. uhuh, yeah... i ain't an asshole. no reason to fog yah out. "
ㅤ
She pats the heads with a grin.
“And thanks for not blowing the smoke at me.”
ㅤ" huh. yer loss. "
ㅤlowering the pack, pocketing it again and instead removing a lighter. taking a toke off, blowing the smoke down and away from the other woman. before continuing.
ㅤ" the hell yah need tah be dramatic for ? thought the shoulder pads were 'nough. "

ㅤ
ㅤ" oh sugar plum. "
ㅤeyes waning, though clearly far from sympathetic.
ㅤ" ahm way too old tah jus' ' be yer friend. '
ㅤwhaddyah take me for ? "
ㅤseemingly mocking him, hands pressed to her knees despite the fact that she was already shorter than him. cooing as if at a child.
ㅤ
"...God this is stupid-
....do you wanna be friends.... the only friend I got is Midas and hes just my coworker-"
ㅤ" 'course they do. but i'd be here all day listin' em all off. "
ㅤlowering the basket back to her side, glancing back to the farmhand.
ㅤ" ... alright, fluffy, now tell * me why yer really botherin' me ? there ain't 'nough kindness in anyone's heart tah come all this way fer a fruit basket. "

ㅤ
ㅤas expected . . .
ㅤslowly blinking once, then twice. brow furrowing, confused by the question.
ㅤ" uh.. i ain't really got a... preference ?
ㅤcan you jus' get on with yer lil investigation ? i ain't 'ere tah be yer new best friend, hon. "
ㅤ
She glances back at the spinny blue glowing portal she just jumped out of. "The name's Lep, COSMIC EXPLORER. I just show up in random places and look for interesting people. You look interesting."
"...By the way, would you prefer me as a guy or a girl? Your call."
ㅤas expected . . .
ㅤslowly blinking once, then twice. brow furrowing, confused by the question.
ㅤ" uh.. i ain't really got a... preference ?
ㅤcan you jus' get on with yer lil investigation ? i ain't 'ere tah be yer new best friend, hon. "
ㅤ
ㅤ" oh - well, pardon me, then. "
ㅤlowering her hand to cross her arm back over her chest again.
ㅤ" ... 26. she's 26 years old.
ㅤbut, oh well ! wha's yer name then, cause she jus' so happened tah always leave that part out. "
ㅤ
" Oh. Well... I guess that, makes sense then. "
So then, they were just friends who talked from time to time. That's how she knew. That's a lot less concerning than he initially thought.
" I'm not that young... But I guess I don't know how old she is. I'm just 21... "
ㅤ" mah ellie pretty much lives there. but, when she visits, she likes tellin' me things. "
ㅤshrugging. what had him worked up seemed to hardly even faze her.
ㅤ" least she's finally makin' friends... yah seem a lil young, though. not tah mention.. "
ㅤmotioning a hand above her own head to his.

ㅤ" the hell yah need tah be dramatic for ? thought the shoulder pads were 'nough. "
ㅤ
She stared at the pack with a smirk. At least she was kind enough to offer.
ㅤraising a brow, turning her head to actually give the stranger more of her attention.
ㅤ" uh.. had my first when i was... le's see -
ㅤwhen i was 'bout 22 or so ?
ㅤworsened in mah thirties. you want one ? "
ㅤoffering the pack.

ㅤ
He hums, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"Thats nice, they got names???"
ㅤ" huh. hate that stuff too - i ain't no vegan 'r nothin', but i wouldn't ever hurt 'em myself. "
ㅤinvestigating the contents of the basket as she spoke. tilting it, slanting her own frame.
ㅤ" .. i have some o' my own back at home. roosters, chickens, cows... love 'em tah death. "

ㅤ
" W-Wait... How do * you, know that? "
He wasn't going to hide the fact that he went there, it's not like it was some desperate secret he needed to keep. But now he's confused...
Even more worried than before.
Why does she know that?
ㅤ” mm - nnooo, i definitely do. “
ㅤarms crossed, leaning in, just barely tilting her head.
ㅤ” .. yoou-uuhh… yah visit that trash heap. the ‘ observatory, ‘ ‘er whatever i’s called. “
ㅤleaning back, nodding her head up once.

ㅤ
She was used to getting the stares at least, so that didn’t phase her. What did was the cigs.
“…How long you been smoking those things?”
ㅤraising a brow, turning her head to actually give the stranger more of her attention.

ㅤ
" ...What? No. I-I Mean sorry... No I, I think you must be mistaking me for somebody else... "
If they did know him, that would be highly concerning. Because he certainly doesn't know who they are. But maybe it's a mistake...
The nervous expression on his face says as much.

ㅤquietly chuckling, shoulders bobbing with a shake of her head.
ㅤ” sure, hon. you’ve got yer hook. “
ㅤremoving a lighter from her pocket, twirling it around her fingers before placing it in the other’s hand.
ㅤ” now sink ‘er. “
ㅤ
“not too big a fan of cigarettes. i do love me some grass, though.”
( twirling a pre-roll between their fingers with a sly smile, placing the filter between their lips before flashing an empty hand. )
“pass me a light and you can learn all about me.”

ㅤ” never caught yer name, sugarcube. “
ㅤtaking a puff from a cigarette, covering her mouth as she’d blow the smoke off to the side.

He joked, raising a brow at her.
ㅤ” .. my name, sugar. jus’ call me by my name. “
ㅤpausing, looking over the basket for a moment. raising a brow as her stern gaze returned to his eyes.
ㅤ” and, uh, yer givin’ this tah me because - ? “

[A continuation, cause replies being funn]
"Young lady then?"
He hums, before reaching back, and grabbing a basket of berries, carrots, apple and pears.
"Figured id give ya this."
